Making Ghee

There are different reasons why one should want to make ghee. For me I use it both at home and on the trail. It holds alot better than butter does and I just like the taste.

Tools needed:
Casserole
Spoon
Strainer

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter (depending on how much you want)

Preparation:
Place the butter in a casserole and heat up

Once the butter is completely melted you will start to see the milk protein bubbling up to the surface.

Just scoop the milk protein out with a strainer

Continue to do this until all the milk protien is out.. this takes about 5-10 minutes total

 

Once all the protein is filtered out the ghee has a nice yellow look to it. You can then pour this liquid into a jar directly or run it through the filter once more.

Once the ghee is done place it in a jar at give it some time to settle. Usually takes about a day to completely settle.
